My Fo Jing

This is my Fo Jing, told to me by a Buddha-of-a-friend. (that night got yellow holy light shining out of my handphone)

Here goes:

Everyone is made out to be weak in something and strong in another.

You can't strong at everything and you also won't be weak in everything.

Focus on what you are strong at. This will give you more confidence and allow you to play better.

There is a difference between saying:

"Winning and losing doesn't matter to me - i don't care if i win or lose" which is negative and;

"Winning and losing doesn't matter - so long as I have done my best, therefore the statement" which is positive.

If you keep telling yourself, "winning doesn't mean anything to me", then when you lose u will still feel the guilt because you know you haven't put in any effort to make the best out of the game.

And if you lose because of this, you will always use this excuse that, 'Oh, it's because i don't like competition what, so lose also never mind lor...'

If you tell yourself to focus on what you are strong at and make the best out of it, then even when you lose, you can proudly tell yourself that you have "given my best and I have no regrets at all" (William Hung, 2004)




Bottomline is: if the coach puts you in a game, you just play it and play it well. If you play it well, other people can see. (And that makes "losing" a little easier to swallow. Hahaha)



I want to buy flourescent paint and paint these words onto my ceiling.. so when i turn out the lights, these words will shine down on me and enlighten me all over again everynight. =)

Thanks Kailin and shuping for the long long talk. 0307. This is the time when we hung up. 0307. This is the duration of our conversation. This may be a coincidence. Haha. But our friendship is definitely not a coincidence~!

OKay now for what happened today! Waaaaaa.... I was a road victim for the first day of school!!! It all happaned in the morning... I received a call from a friend.

"Hey! My dad can fetch us to school leh! U want a ride?"

Ok... so i accepted the kind offer and went downstairs to meet this friend. As I rushed into the car, i didn't realise something. MY FRIEND WAS IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT!!! SHEEEEEEEYTTTE!!! And becoz the father was also in the car, I didn't dare to get off liao...

Okay alot of farni things happened on the way out of carpark and on the way to school la. TOok FIVE minutes to get out of my F - shaped carpark! I'm amazed I didn't throw up on the way out...

once we reached the bus stop at dover, this friend asked me, "So, what do you think of my driving?"

WAHAHAHA!

first post of 2007

Wow I nearly forgot my sign-in name for blogger... 8 days didn't visit my blog lykdat liao...

Had a chat with tiffo aka horny last night. Hahaha found out how fantastic italy's postal service can get. I sent her a card on the 22 or 23 dec la... definitely CMI before christmas but i thought at least can make it before 2007. key word: i thought. HAhahaha! okays... there's a high chance it won't reach her address in italy until after she returns there from her one week visit to S'pore.

since christmas... hmmm... i forgot wad i have done already... most outstanding memory of last week was the camping out with superman at sembawang park on friday night. Kinda rushed back from Malaysia so as to camp out with him. Didn't have time to prepare for anything to do there except I brought my laptop out and we watched The Host in the tent. LOL! It's so lame la, thinking back... coz camping is supposed to be more in touch with nature, but in the end technology tagged along to keep us entertaining for a couple of hours.

We were paranoid of the mosquitoes by then - armed with a brand new can of insect repellant spray, mozzie coils and 2 bottles of ointment! It sorta effectively kept the mozzies away for miles. the tent was even positioned in a way that it caught the wind in the backdoor and the mozzie coil was placed upwind so that the "smoke" would drift and flush the tent with it Anti-mozzie smell.

The night passed a little too quickly although we fell asleep at 4am and woke around 9am... hmm, next time no more laptops!

Then there was countdown with superman. Sorta last minute "countdown" la.. Haha was supposed to go to Popo house for family gathering but seemed that everybody had their own plans and nobody was free to turn up that night. So met with Spm at around 5pm. HEhehe. Where did we go? Not vivo, not esplanade, not mount faber but Fort Canning Park! Coz I had the impression that my dad told me before that fireworks could be seen there... that evening we became tourist of our country man! Really had no idea how to get the Fort Canning we alighted at Dhoby Gaut Station and slowly (really slowly) found our way to the place... Visited the History Museum too! Hahahaha... like real tourists lor =D Main point is we really got to see fireworks from Fort Canning Park leh!

Next fondest memory was the team dinner on Monday (New Year's Day) at Joo Chiat No.11 #01-03 Chilli Padi Nonya Restaurant =) I still roughly rmb what we ordered... 3 glasses of water chestnut, tied with 3 glasses of lime juice, 1 bottle of honey lemon (cursed), 1 can of coke (outstanding) the rest can't rmb liao... For food there was Ayam Sio (not leng), Mutton Rendang, Sweet potato leaves, Curry Fish Head, Sambal Sotong, Nonya Chap Chye, Seafood fried rice, Duno wad fried rice (black black one), Fu Yong Egg (if i got the name right)... dats about it.

As you can see, with the TT team, live is more enjoyable... Big fish Big meat (da yu da rou)... After that went to Marine Parade for about an hour pool... I enjoyed it very much. I mean I enjoyed the movie they were showing - Alien VS Predator. AHAHAHAHAHA!

Now just waiting for the impending doom to befall on me... got so much i need to do for school... but i still keep them at the back of my mind.

What do they mean by resolutions and mugging? not in my dictionary wan leh...
